BC Camplight is project of Brian Christinzio, today the multi-artist is sharing his single and album title track “A Sober Conversation”, available 27th via Bella Union. The track touches on his his internal battle with substance abuse and admitting the truth of his own childhood abuse through a heated conversation that turns into a literal car crash. The chant “now’s the time for a sober conversation” in the bridge is Brian getting ready to accept things. “I think we all reach a point in our lives where we can no longer run from ourselves or our pasts,” explains Brian. “When I found myself no longer able to stay one step ahead of my fears and memories I stopped running, let myself feel it all, and had a long talk with myself. The talk was dark and disturbing but genuine and life-changing. This song is that sober conversation”.

BC Camplight will tourbehind the album, this fall, playing biggest headline shows to date including performances at the Roundhouse in London and the O2 Apollo in Manchester.

The new collection documents the last two years of his life, finally confronting a shocking childhood trauma while embracing sobriety, to create the most riveting and revealing record of his storied two decade career. It has already earned widespread acclaim for cinematic indie-folk stunner “Where You Taking My Baby?” and lead single “Two Legged Dog” featuring Abigail Morris from The Last Dinner Party.

BC Camplight’s 2005 debut was backed by musicians who would eventually join The War On Drugs, who he went on to perform live with as well as guest-starring on Sharon Van Etten’s album Epic. Brian shares, “I had spent 30 years being terrified to open that door, and afraid of the price I’d pay once I had. I’ve opened the door. To some extent this album is what was on the other side. I hope it helps me but this album is also for everyone that is having trouble finding their bravery, finding themselves.”
